"Is everyone okay?" asked Beth. "I fell on my shoulder, but it doesn't hurt that much," replied Hannah. "Does anyone have a torch? asked Edward. "I don't have one," answered Bobby. "I don't think any of us do," commented Hannah. "We've got to find something else," suggested Beth. Not knowing what was in front of him, Bobby walked right into the stone wall. At that moment, an idea lit up in his mind. He kneeled down and searched the floor for any decent-sized rocks. Luckily enough, he found two that were of similar size. He spent the next minute slamming the rocks together, making sure they scrapped each other while doing so.

"Where's that noise coming from?" asked Edward. "It's me, I'm trying to make a fire with some rocks," answered Bobby. "I don't think you're hitting them hard enough," commented Edward. "Do you mind if I try?" he asked. "Sure," replied Bobby. Despite not being able to see anything, Edward still tried to make his way to him. While walking, he crashed into someone. "Sorry about that, can you hand over the rocks," he requested. "I'm not Bobby," stated Hannah. "Okay," muttered Edward awkwardly. "Where are you Bobby?" he called. "I can hear your voice nearby, I'll walk over to you," responded Bobby.

Without hesitation, he walked towards the source of Edward's voice. It was to his right and only within a few steps. "Are you there?" asked Edward. "Yes," answered Bobby. "Okay, now hand over the rocks," requested Edward. Once he got ahold of them, he slammed them into each other like Bobby had been doing. Only difference was that Edward did it with a lot more force. After four attempts, he finally created what everyone needed. However, it was only a small flame, and it barely provided any light to the place. The other rock wasn't burning, so Edward held the blazing rock over to it and passed a second flame onto it. Before starting the journey, he passed one of the rocks to Bobby.

The Braw Agents walked through the mysterious place. From what they could see, it was a narrow brick corridor. Despite appearing straight, the path was actually quite crooked and featured many slight turns and angles. After five minutes, they encountered a staircase. The interesting part wasn't the small flight of stairs that barely lowered the group, but rather, what lay on the other side. The path had become twice its previous width and was now divided by a wall. On it was an inscription, along with an arrow pointing to the left. "What does it say?" asked Hannah. "It says, directions here," read Edward.

Upon taking the left lane, The Braw Agents found something bizarre. "A dead end? this can't be right," said Beth. "I guess everyone's doing the dead end trick now," commented Bobby. He approached the wall and bent down. Unlike the one in Bytari's manhole, there were no missing bricks or any crevasses for his hand to fit into. At least none he could find with his flaming rock. During all of this, Hannah noticed something on one of the side walls. "Edward, can I have your rock?" she asked. "Alright," replied Edward, not knowing what was going to happen.

Hannah approached the wall and held the rock close to its surface. Upon closer inspection, it was a detailed illustration of the tomb hallway. Near it was an arrowhead and a line. She moved the flame across the wall, following the arrows in reverse. When she got to the first illustration, it was a picture of the puzzle they solved before getting trapped. The next one was the hallway Hannah already saw. Then, there was a picture of the hall split. Bobby, Edward and Beth saw Hannah's investigation and decided to come over. "What did you find?" asked Beth. "I'm not sure, I think they might be instructions for leaving the tomb," explained Hannah. As she was talking, her rock moved past more pictures. Those being a hall with a ninety-degree angle, an area with things resembling monkey bars and the tombs exit.

Oddly enough, there were still more drawings hiding in the dark. The next arrow leads to a picture of a desert, with two red circles and a messy dotted line connecting them. The final drawing resembled a castle lying within a deep crater. Everything started to click in Hannah's mind. "This was definitely made by that guy in the castle," she claimed. "Why would they build this?" asked Bobby. "Don't worry about that for now, let's get out of this tomb," announced Beth.

Without wasting any time, The Braw Agents ran out of the left lane and traveled down the right one. For the next ten minutes, everyone was just walking down boring crooked pathways. So, they decided to chat amongst each other in order to kill time. "Can't wait to see the sun again," stated Hannah. "Don't call me crazy, but I actually kinda like it down here," claimed Edward. "Look, it's really humid up there and we had to walk in that weather for half an hour,". "At least this place is a little more cooled off," he explained. "Do you still have some water?" asked Beth. "I think so," answered Edward. "Then you'll be fine for the time being," she replied. "When we get back to the base, we can have some lunch and you can dip your feet in the oasis pond," she added.

Eventually, The Braw Agents reached the ninety-degree angle. When they walked past it, they saw something interesting on the other side. The floor randomly cut off, and the rest of the path was a dark void, leading to an unknown pit. On the ceiling, there was a series of handlebars. None of this was surprising to the Braw Agents. However, they did have some questions at hand. "How are we going to get across?" asked Hannah. "We climb those bars," answered Bobby. "Yes, but we have those flaming rocks, how are we going to climb with them?" explained Hannah.

Just then Edward came up with an idea. "Since I'm the strongest, I'll climb the bars and someone can hold onto me while they're carrying the rocks," he proposed. "Who wants to do it?" he asked. "I'll do it," replied Beth. At that moment, Bobby and Edward gave both of the flaming rocks to her. Edward jumped up and grabbed onto the first bar. Beth jumped and grabbed onto his waist, trying to keep the rocks away from him. "You two should start climbing, the lights are not going to be here for much longer," insisted Edward once he swung across two bars. At that moment, Bobby and Hannah jumped and latched onto the first bar. The two pairs tried to stick together while swinging from handle to handle. Once Edward got to the eighth bar, he noticed there were no more on the ceiling. Beth assumed they had reached the end, so she moved the rocks in search of the path, and jumped onto a safe area. Shortly after, Bobby, Hannah and Edward did the same thing.

When they continued their trek, they felt the ground slowly get higher as they walked. "I think we're almost at the end," stated Hannah. "I hope so," replied Bobby. A couple minutes later, The Braw Agents encountered something interesting yet again. The path came to a dead end. However, there was a strange contraption on the floor. It was a stone disc that protruded out of the ground. One half was beige while the other was grey. Around the disc was a square title with a similar design. It had the same two colours, but they were wrapped around the opposite sides. "What is this?" questioned Hannah. Bobby approached the contraption, wondering if the disc could rotate. Once he realized it could, he easily found the solution to the puzzle. He immediately turned the disc one hundred and eighty degrees, aligning each side with the colours of the tile.

Shortly after, the ceiling split in two and revealed a vibrant blue sky from above. Then, everyone felt a ground shift, similar to the one they felt before entering the tomb. When they least expected it, the floor segment gently raised The Braw Agents to the outdoors. Within a couple of seconds, everyone was back on the surface. "What should I do with these?" asked Bobby, referring to the rocks. "Just blow them out," answered Beth. After Bobby followed her instruction, the rocks were no longer burning. "We're going to have to drive to the castle," stated Beth to everyone. "I don't think we should do another desert walk," she announced. "Yeah, I'm dying out here," commented Edward. "At least we got some information out of it," explained Hannah. "Come on, let's go back to the base and cool off," suggested Beth. Without wasting any time, the Braw Agents ran away from the contraption and across the sand dunes. It was a long way to the base, but they knew it would all be worth it.
